RIZZASTERServer Lag Incident Review
/archive/creative/plugins/2018-05/ · last edited 06 Nov 2018 · Community
The past week has seen a significant increase in server lag, with players reporting extended wait times for loading screens, server disconnections, and laggy gameplay. This lag issue was particularly noticeable during peak hours, with an average of 20 seconds of lag experienced by 75% of players. The team has been investigating the cause of this lag and implemented several changes to address it.
The root cause of the lag was discovered to be a combination of high server load and inefficient memory management. The team added an additional 10 servers to the network, which should help distribute the load more evenly and reduce lag. Additionally, the team has implemented a new caching system to reduce the amount of data transferred between the server and client, resulting in faster loading times and reduced lag.
To further address the issue, the team has also optimized the server's memory usage and updated the game's configuration files to prioritize performance over other factors. This should result in improved overall performance and reduced lag. The team has been monitoring the server's performance closely and has implemented a new alert system to quickly detect any further lag issues, allowing for swift action to be taken to address them.
The team has also increased server maintenance schedules to ensure that the servers are regularly cleaned up and optimized for better performance. This includes daily clean-up of old and unused game data, weekly backup of important data, and monthly updates to the game software. The team is committed to maintaining the high level of performance that the community has come to expect from Rizzaster, and is working diligently to address this issue.
